It appears that administration functions are limited to the following machines: Addresses (198.189.249.247|198.189.249.246|198.189.249.244) So... On one of these machines, start NetScape and goto URL http://indian.monterey.edu:8088/ You will be prompted for the username/password. I think the username is: admin and I you'll have to get the password from Jim or George I guess. Once you are in, the Server Config, go to the section: CGI and Server Parsed HTML Specify a directory that will contain CGI programs only and add a "cdrom" directory... you may also want to add a "cgi-bin" directory here also (if one does not exist). On this screen there is a form for the URL prefix (enter: cdrom) and for the CGI directory, you can put in something like: /usr/server/lookup Do the same thing for "cgi-bin" -> /usr/server/cgi-bin And Hit the button to "Make These Changes". If it was sucessfull, you can logon as root and cd /usr/server and ./stop-admin Then: You need to add a group to the end of the /etc/group file: www:*:1001:cstuber,merrill,doug,may,baldwin (or whoever you want in the group) Then... As root, do the following: cd /usr/server mkdir lookup chown cstuber lookup <- Make me the owner of this one. mkdir cgi-bin chgrp www lookup cgi-bin chmod g+rwx lookup cgi-bin Sorry there is so much stuff here... but without root access there is little I can do to help. Let me know if you have questions. As soon as this is done, I will copy over the compiled "Lookup" code and try to get it working from this machine. We also have accounts "library.monterey.edu", and when Steve Watkins returns from his trip to Hawaii, we will try to set it up on his machine also. (Just FYI) Thanks, -Chris (Chris.Stuber@Census.GOV) (800)504-1847 pager >From doug@maxwell.monterey.edu Mon Apr 29 19:35:32 1996 >From: "Doug MacIntire" >Date: Mon, 29 Apr 1996 16:34:24 -0700 >To: Chris.Stuber@Census.GOV (Chris Stuber (DIR/DADS)) >Subject: Re: indian admin >Mime-Version: 1.0 > >Hi Chris, > >Please let me know what is involved and what I should do and I will try to take >care of this. > >Thanks. > >Doug > > >On Apr 29, 2:16pm, Chris Stuber (DIR/DADS) wrote: >> Subject: indian admin >> >> Doug, >> >> I *finally* got "lookup" cgi to compile on SGI (with GNU C++/LIBC++), >> but I need a HTTPD CGI ScriptAlias called "/cdrom" which points to >> a directory where I have write access.
